Christmas Gifts for Fencers

Buying gifts for anyone can be difficult. For a sports enthusiast it can be very hard, especially when you're dealing with things like uniforms or protective equipment where you need to know sizing. So, what about great gifts that they wouldn't buy for themselves, but that are pretty cool to have? Here are a few suggestions.

Image of Fencing

The first ever coffee table style book for fencing!


This book is the perfect accessory for your club's waiting room or lounge area. This book shows fencing at it's most dramatic and emotional, providing inspiration to you your club members and parents.

Reviews of "The Image of Fencing" have well surpassed our expectations. We knew this was a good book, but the comments we're receiving from people who have picked up and flipped through this coffee-table book are exceeding our expectations, and filling us up with pride at the job done by the designer, publisher, and of course Serge Timacheff who provided the photos.

This book is the culmination of a dream to capture the greatness that is fencing and document it in photographs. In "The Image of Fencing" you get a taste of our sport's recent history as the photos take you from the Athens Olympics through the four years culminating in the 2008 Olympic Games.

Fencers from around the world are shown - in action, in the celebration of victory, and the despair of defeat. The whole range of emotions as well as the physicality and athleticism of modern fencing are highlighted.

You can order this book online at Fencing.Net.

Favero Electronic Target

supercool target practice

This is a demonstration of a simultaneous target program of the Favero fencing wall target. The electronic target measures your speed to hit the targets once they light up. The electronic target will light up multiple targets at once and the fencer chooses the sequence of hits. Once you hit all of the targets, your total speed is measured. As you can see from the demonstration if you miss one target you can go back to it later.
